To answer an unanswered question..

:D

I'm gonna guess the chassis is inspired by Peer Pressure? XD

Well, it started off as a replica of the original lego bot I made. After a few failures trying to get the JX burst motors to fit, I tried to make just a flipper with it. then I got to this popup.

Kinda does look like Peer Pressure. Except it.. well, PP kinda fails doesn't it?

It should replace Peer Pressure.
BTW Great Bot!

RedSawn · « **Reply #63 on:** August 26, 2009, 02:36:50 PM »

I'll still be trying to improve it though. The question is how.

RedSawn · « **Reply #64 on:** August 27, 2009, 03:12:05 PM »

Aura won't be my "team" AW, this will.

This bot was very interesting to make - the previous version before this one weighed under 100kg with spikes. I could of went up to 5mm Steel without going past the AW weight limit. But I needed speed, so the Hypnos went on, traded for "just" 3mm Aluminium.

I'm unsure if anyone's actually seen I have this new bot. :| It's been a while, loads of people have gone into the DSL showcase section.. but.. eh.. as far as I can tell there's only been 8 new views, 4 of which mine.

LUVVVVVV
It looks like it would be a lot less effective inverted though. Does it havok at all?

Not too much. It turns well - things start to get bad when the panel comes off though. Though so far there was only a havok from being hit by a LW. Or was it a BW. Whatever.

Inverted.. a little tipsy but it works.

You just need 2 ants for this.

Put something like 5mm Plastic as well. Alu fails at armor.

I actually did know that. It's just.. well, you know how Copels are advertised as having only 2.6 amp drain or something like that?

An single ant battery should work. But it doesn't (I.E stupidly slow)
2 ant batteries.. mm, not as fast as 3. I'll give it another test.

Pwnator · « **Reply #70 on:** August 30, 2009, 06:15:32 AM »

Hmm... try a new setup with astros and one ant and see how it fares.

RedSawn · « **Reply #71 on:** August 30, 2009, 06:37:13 AM »

Well I tried 2 batteries and it was roughly the same speed as 3. Which surprised me actually.

So now 239 shouldn't be called 239, because it doesn't weigh 123.9kg. It now weighs 124kg, exchanging one battery for a blue control board and Aluminium 5. I believe I was 0.1kg off Steel 3.

Naryar · « **Reply #72 on:** August 30, 2009, 10:22:59 AM »

Aluminium is the worst armor material you can get.

RedSawn · « **Reply #73 on:** August 30, 2009, 11:46:00 AM »

Worst armor-to-weight ratio, huh?

Naryar · « **Reply #74 on:** August 30, 2009, 11:51:41 AM »

yupppppp

RedSawn · « **Reply #75 on:** August 30, 2009, 11:52:55 AM »

So what's the best? Infact, show me those A:W values..

Naryar · « **Reply #76 on:** August 30, 2009, 12:32:20 PM »

The best armor choices are :1mm Ti, 5mm Ti, 10mm Ti and 3mm Plastic, all equal.

5mm Plastic, 10mm Plastic are very nice as well.

5mm Steel is pretty good for steel as well.

Then you have 1mm Plastic and 3mm Titanium which both have the worst ratio of their material, but still decent armor choices.

And then it's worthless especially Aluminium.

I tought everything was fine besides Steel...? :S

Can you please do the lra2 bot pack?

RedSawn · « **Reply #79 on:** August 30, 2009, 01:14:43 PM »

So basically (and to confirm I guess?) - don't pick aluminium at all?

EDIT: Yeah yeah LRA2, but I'm doing it by free will.
